Step 1
In a large saucepan, toss together the brown sugar, butter, cream, vanilla, and peanut butter. Heat the mixture over medium-high, stirring often, until it just comes to a boil. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the confectioners' sugar until everything is smooth and well combined. While the cake is cool, pour the warm frosting over it and spread it out quickly before it sets.
